About New HavenNew Haven was laid out by the Puritans in 1638 in nine equal squares; the central square, or Green, was reserved for the public. Historic buildings are scattered throughout this venerable city, not the least of which are those comprising distinguished Yale University. On the whimsical side, this is the place where the corkscrew, lollipop, steamboat and steel fishhook were invented.
